fan Backlash and WWE’s Outlook
The booking of this segment sparked critically important outrage on social media, with many fans accusing WWE of deliberately diminishing Knight’s status.

Online speculation arose suggesting Knight was being punished for an unscripted moment where he held up a fan sign reading “We want LA Knight, not Jey Uso.”
This led to theories that he had incurred the wrath of management.
Fightful Select definitively debunked these rumors, stating there was “zero heat internally” regarding the incident.
A source within WWE creative described any potential punishment as “weird,” especially considering Knight was afterward booked to defeat Jey Uso in the “Last Time is now” tournament.
